She was there when I needed her most and provided a stable home for me. She was a single mom who worked hard to provide for her family and was finally able to retire into a home of her own 15 years ago. There she gardened, crafted, yelled at the TV and welcomed every stray cat that came in to eat the food she left for them. She never killed a bug, even the gnarly spiders that got in. She made a mean beef stew and rum cake so good it made you tipsy. Rest now Grama. I know you're still here, just a bit less orderly.

I'm sorry for your loss. Sending you lots of love

Commiserations @OP. Losing a loved one is hard. Losing a loved one who helped you heaps is a whole other league.

avoid talking about your loss. No one should mourn alone. My deepest condolences to you and your Mom.

How long was your mother expecting grandma to live without finally going after the man she loved? Being alone was not an option for her.

The fact that Yami's grandmother died so soon after her grandfather meant that she couldn't wait to be reunited with him in the afterlife.

Strange Random comment; but if you'd like to share her recipes, we small group could confer how good it'd be!

I couldn't agree more. Everyone needs a good beef stew recipe

no I want that rum cake, i've never tasted a cake that made me tipsy and i'm ready for a cake to do so.

That's a fantastic idea. Make sure she's remembered by letting people enjoy her recipe's. Make sure to put her name in the recipes.

It may happen :) I think she'd like that.

I have several recipes I enjoy that are "Gramma Thompson's Apple Pie" or "Nana Martin's Taco Dip". I always leave the names on.
